“There are a lot of rumors about massive fraud in Philadelphia,” wrote the Republican candidate for the White House about this Democratic stronghold in the state of Pennsylvania.
The authorities of this state in the northeast of the country, undoubtedly the most contested in the duel between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, have so far reported no form of fraud in this city.
Donald Trump said Tuesday morning that he would be ready to recognize his defeat against Kamala Harris if “the election is fair”, while raising the specter of possible electoral fraud, after voting in Florida on Tuesday.
“If I lose an election, if the election is fair, I will be the first to admit it. So far, I think it’s been fair,” said the Republican candidate for the White House.
Throughout the campaign, the Republican, who never admitted his defeat in 2020, has already laid the first stones of a new challenge, accusing the Democrats of “cheating like hell”.
The Democratic camp says it “expects” the Republican to declare himself the winner prematurely, as he did in 2020, although he lost the election to Joe Biden.
